Background Bonanza

Backtracking - 13th June 2008

Friday 13th - not unlucky for crafty chicks! Went bonkers with backgrounds, along with Mumsy, and look what we made! Got out some canvas, acetate and textured wallpaper as bases.

To add colour we used:

• Adirondack paint dabbers
• luna lights
• regular acrylic paints
• chalk dew drop inkpads

To add texture we used:

• string
• plastic forks (drag through/scrape the acrylic paints - try it! Makes cool patterns)
• toothbrushes (old ones!)
• sponges

The paint fumes sent Mumsy quite doo-lally (either that or it was spending time with Freaky Deaky Crafty Chick that was the cause of her delirium!!!) It was a stonking afternoon, don't get many of those round here so will remember it always :)
